Too often the phrase "it'll take magic pixie dust for us to sign them" and "there's a snowball's chance in hell" are married together as a preposterous, defeatist attitude. And usually it migrates into the "The Twins will never sign a FA because X, Y, Z" All of that nonsense ignores the bigger problem: The Twins won't spend. Not that they can't, they won't. So I'm adamant about calling out arguments like your pixie dust one precisely because it gives bogus cover to the ownership/organization.
